I do wonder if the super wealthy actively look for way not to pay tax or they are presented with a scheme by their advisers who say here is a way to cut your tax bill by x%. It is legal but right on the edge.

Maybe the governments should actively target the advisory firms. The Criminal Finances Act goes someway to adressing this but until the people at the top of these firms are held personally criminally and financially liable for the tax evasion scheme that their companies and staff promote, then it will continue.

Everyone should sort their tax affairs in an efficient manner and not pay a higher rate than is required by law.

Then if their longing to support further community projects isn't satisfied by their taxation, they can do it via charity.

The real problem is when corporations that are clearly making millions, find loopholes between countries and dodge the fucking lot.

But that is the legal environment that has been created - companies will use all legal means at their disposal to maximise shareholder return. That is their boards priority. If you want them to stop, then create a tax system that prevents it.

If the UK levied a sales tax on internet transactions, then the likes of google and amazon wouldn't have a choice but to contribute and if they refused to pay, then we can turn off their website (chinese seem to manage it) - you would soon find out just how much our market was actually worth to them
